Common Issues This Pulley Can Address

• Worn or damaged power steering pump pulley replacement during pump service

• Noise from an out-of-round or deteriorated pulley
• Improper steering pump drive operation from a failing press-fit pulley
• Service delays when an OE-style replacement pulley is needed for Ford Focus or Mercury Cougar applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Use the correct removal and installation tool for the engine application and pulley type to avoid damage. If alignment is in question, check adjacent pulleys with a straightedge or laser alignment tool. The replacement pulley should be pressed on until the hub is flush with the end of the shaft for correct alignment with the accessory drive system. Belt condition and tension should also be inspected during service, since cracked or stretched belts can slip and reduce steering pump performance.
